AVR-8A-B High Voltage Pulser

The AVR-8A-B is a general-purpose 1000V pulse generator, with a wide pulse width range of 200 ns to 200 us, rise and fall times of 50 ns, and a maximum repetition rate of 1 kHz. This model can drive loads of 50 Ohms or higher. When used to drive a series combination of 50 Ohms and a laser diode, it can deliver up to 20 Amps to the diode. Models in the AVR series may be suitable for replacing obsolete pulse generators from the former Velonex Corporation in many applications.

Option. Standard feature for orders after Jan 14, 2019 - it is no longer necessary to specify this option. Adds a rear-panel Ethernet connector, allowing the instrument to be remotely controlled using the VXI-11.3, ssh (secure shell), telnet, and http (web) protocols. In particular, the VXI-11.3 features allows software like LabView to control an instrument using standard VISA communications drivers and network cabling, instead of using old-style GPIB cabling. (This eliminates the need for a GPIB controller card and its proprietary drivers.).

Shipping Case

ATA shipping case

-ATA3

$898

Option. Ships the instrument in a heavy-duty ATA-style transport case, instead of the normal cardboard box. It can also serve as a storage case. This option is recommended for shipments outside of North America and Europe, and is mandatory when using a freight-forwarder or when shipping by any method other than FedEx/UPS. It is strongly recommended for all shipments to China. Pelican model 1690 for full-rack-width (17 inch / 430 mm) units, including all -B units. Pelican model 1610 for half-rack-width (8.5 inch / 215 mm) units. This option increases the shipping weight by 45 lbs / 20 kg (1690) or 24 lbs / 11 kg (1610).

Excludes the above countries. Not recommended. Due to the increased likelihood of shipping damage, the -ATA3 option (heavy-duty ATA shipping case) is mandatory for -PS, -C, and -B models.
